Kyocera Document Solutions has announced it has been positioned as a “Major Player”, according to IDC’s MarketScape: Worldwide Managed Print and Managed Document Services 2014 Vendor Assessment – Focus on Managed Workflow Services.

As the document management environment within the business world is currently undergoing vast change, Kyocera has been expanding its provision of ‘total document solutions’ by continuously supporting its customers through the combination of reliable document imaging technology, customisable business applications and by assessing and implementing the optimum document management environment.

“Every customer’s document management environment is unique. We offer Kyocera Managed Document Solutions with an extensive line-up of printers, MFPs and software customisation which address a customer’s business pain points,” says Wayne Holborn, MD of Kyocera Document Solutions South Africa. “We are pleased that our direction is in line with IDC’s MDS expectation of a major player in the MDS market.”

IDC’s Holly Muscolino, research vice-president for Document Solutions, says “We are impressed by KYOCERA’s strategic evolution. Compared with larger competitors, the company’s approach is narrower and more focused. Its channel positioning provides an intriguing option for large systems integrators looking for document solutions partners in managed document services without potential competitive conflict.”
